Daffy's Stitchy Friends

This, That, and the Other

When I bought that basket to display smalls in, I happened to check Hobby Lobby's embroidery floss to see if they had the newly published DMC colors. They did! I've been checking every place I go that sells floss and it's finally happening here.

I got them bagged up as soon as I got home. If you are new here, I have a detailed post about how I store my floss here - Embroidery Floss. The Bagged floss gets stored in my Cabinet.

I finished this Milady's Needle Partridge in a Pear Tree design from the 2012 JCS Ornament issue. Waiting now to be finished.

I also finished USA Squared by Lizzy Kate. Just needs finishing. I've stitched this one once before but I RAK'ed it to Karen.

I was going to "new start" another Bent Creek design, Happy Flag Flag Day but when I got out the chart I thought it looked too familiar and a quick search of my blog revealed I had already stitched it. So I had to go dig the finish out of storage in the basement and add it to my patriotic basket. Are ya'll sick of seeing this basket yet?

So, for my new start, I needed a change of pace and chose this Stacy Nash Primitives Netty's Sampler Pinkeep Drum. A very small start so far!

Okay, so how many of you have gone to start a new project only to realize you've already stitched it, finished it and forgot about it? I hope I'm not alone here...

First off, I love seeing your basket and all it's stitching loveliness! Secondly, you are definitely not alone in wanting to stitch something only to find you've done it before and have it in storage :) Thank you so much for sharing :)

My search for the 35 new colors continues, DMC said they were at Michael's, nope, checked Joanns, nope, so I will call Hobby Lobby and see if they do. Your finishes are beautiful Sharon and love the wire basket.Hugs, Sandy

I won't tire of seeing your patriotic goodness in your basket. I have picked something that I have previously stitched, so you aren't alone. I liked the LK piece on that blue gingham fabric. Enjoy your week!

Such cute new finishes, Sharon! I have never stitched anything on that gingham fabric, but it sure looks nice with the LK finish. Glad you remembered your Happy Flag Flag Day finish before it was too late--it looks wonderful in your patriotic basket. Hope you enjoyed a lovely 4th of July!

Starting something after you've already stitched it? I guess that would require finishing something... :-) Will have to check out Hobby Lobby next time I head to Richmond for those threads. And DEFINITELY going to dig through my files to find that partridge piece. You're moving right along on everything. Love the basket.
